Virginia DEQ Report Finds Groundwater Insufficient for Data Centers in Isle of Wight, Surry Counties$
A state report indicates Isle of Wight and Surry counties lack sufficient groundwater for large data centers. Isle of Wight is debating a regulatory ordinance for data centers, while Surry previously approved a zoning district for a data center project whose developer later filed for bankruptcy. Other Virginia localities are also considering or have imposed temporary moratoriums on data center development.
